SOME young men are under arrest in
this city for appropriating a carriage and
horses from in front of public house and
driving around the city furiously. 1t is
said, however, in excuse, that but one took
the carriage, that he invited the others to
ride and that he was drunk" Well.
suppose that to be true, is it any reason why
he should not suffer for his crime? Is
drunkenness, despite the law, to be made a
shield for viclousness 1t would seem so.
Scarcely week passes that some criminal
does not plead incapacity for intent be-
cause was drunk" When wrong is
done there ought to be Il righting of the in
jury; when the law is violated there ought
to follow punishment both for correction
and as deterrent But if whisky is for
ever TO interpcse its arm to protect crimi-
mails what Use is there in enacting laws?
This plea of " drunkenness F." is becoming
aggrayatingly common; it is time the
Courts made it clear to drinkers that
whisky stimulated crime is doubly helm
Gus, and will invariably bring upon offend
ers the Seyerest penalties Such prac-
tice might have tendency TO control
even the outlaw, whisky.

that he did not miss it until he attempted

timely and practical service by his
veto OF the Beverly Farms division
bill. The measure was in itself a bad
one, nor was there any proof that
brides were accepted by the members
of the Legislature for supporting it;
but the fact was clearly established
that large fund was handled by the
lobby both for and against it, and
Gov. Ames properly decided that legis-

could not be considered sound and
wholesome. In other words, his veto
is a blow aimed at the lobby as
an institution; and good citizens

CHICAGO. ILL.,. June AT last nights
meeting of District Assembly No. "A, a
secret circular from Philadelphia was
read, officially notifying the Chicago
knights of the expulsion of District As
sembly No. 126, and warning them
against receiving any travelling or trans
fer cards from that assembly. The
district was not expelled, such
action being unconstitutional. No
action was taken and the document
was very coldly received. Another and
an extremely interesting circular is be-
ing received by the secretaries of all the
local assemblies in this city and all over
the United States. 1t emanates from
District Assembly 126 and is an ap-
peal for assistance and revenge.
After reviewing the facts as above
stated from their standpoint, it charges
Master Workman Powdexly and the
General Executive Board With criminal
incompetency and hints broadly at cor,
ruption. Six specific violations OF
the constitution are alleged. Bar
collision with the manufacturers
and his report is characterized as false
in every respect. He acted directly
against the men without holding any
consultation with them, they say, and
declared the strike off upon the false
pretext that the strike was against man
who was a member of the order. In other
words, he deliberately sold them out,
they allege, and was sustained in his ac-
ton by the General Executive Board.
From every indication the appeal will
meet with hearty support from many
Chicaoo assemblies

his death he sank rapidly, and died
almost without pain. Mr.. Wheeler
had been slowly failing through the
last five or six years, until last winter,
when the progress of the disease be-
came more rapid. Mental weakness
gradually became apparent, and in
creased until first there were indica-
tions of insanity and then ofsoftening
of the brain. For the last two or
three days he remained in q stupor
the greater part of the time, with in
dications OF approaching paralysis.
